Id check the position of your ejector wire.
It should shoot pretty much every bulk right out of the box.
Neither of our 795 have ever had any FTF FTE.
But the 60 has a wire ejector unlike the 795's stamped metal one.
Apparently it can get out of place.

Don't have an answer but am shocked. Marlin 60's are probably the most owned 22 and probably most reliable. I'd send it back without hesitation. Or at least call remlin and see what they say. There's no way it should be this problematic.

They're not liberals, they're leftists. Please don't use the former for the latter. Liberals are Locke, Jefferson, Burke, Hayek. Leftists are progressives, Prussian state-socialists, fascists. Liberals stand against the state and unequivocally support liberty. Leftists support state tyranny.

I don't want to start fooling around w/ the action. Why does it shoot some brands so well? And other not at all?

If you are going to put the original stock back on its one extra step to check the ejector. All it will take is pulling the plastic pin out by hand on the back of the action and pull back and down on it. You would not have to take the action apart to check it just remove it from the receiver.

Shoot a whole bunch of what you can get for cheap and it cycles, lube the crap out of it, shoot it some more. Then shoot all the others after 500-1k of the cheapo stuff. See if the match cycles and go from there.

Thanks! I took apart the whole receiver/bolt etc and cleaned it last night according to the directions in the manual. Easier than I thought.

I'll probably send it in to get it fixed if it doesn't shoot well. I'm in no rush, and want it perfect. I love the rifle. I've only had it 6 days.

Yea. I'll just give it some time. I think I've put about 500 rounds through it so far. I shoot almost every day!

Well. I got close to sending it back to Marlin. But today I went to the range and it shot CCI SV and bulk Winchester so well, I'm gonna keep it as is. Here's how it did at 50M. Bench rested. With Tech Sites. This was 14 shots.

Since I shot it bench rested I'm giving credit to the Marlin 60 and Tech Sites, not me.

Note: Marlin actions prefer light lubrication, almost dry. Heavy lube will just add to the problem.

Mine likes to be run sloppy wet. I don't typically run it that way though. One of my Marlin 60's is kind of my endurance rifle. I shoot it till its so dirty it won't fire anymore. I got it for $60.00 and treat it as such.
